Only half of Americans vote in presidential elections, fewer in midterms, and fewer still in off years. Any generation could drive politics by simply getting their entire generation to vote. But they don't, and yours won't either. Sorry if that's disillusioning, but it's simply fact. Human nature didn't suddenly change with your generation.

I get that the young tend to be liberal. But, unless you up your voting percentage, you won't be drivers, but merely participants like everyone else.
And not even like everyone else. No, it's not half of all generations. People 45+ are ~50% more likely to vote than those under 30:

That chart is most instructive. The biggest problem with this country is that old fucks vote in large numbers and they vote for asswipes like the Orange Turdfuhrer.

Yep. People under 40 went for Clinton, but they only made up 36% of all voters.

The big question is whether generations maintain their affiliation permanently, or whether they change over time. Considering that people who were young in the sixties and seventies are now in the conservative groups, I'm thinking some change toward conservatism does happen.

Yay more cynical charts trying to piss on people for caring about politics and the future of their country .But again you need to chew up the young only way your side will stay in power .

People who were young in the 60s and 70s didn't grow up literally on the internet. People who are young right now are incredibly well connected with the world around them, in my opinion, and if that won't foster more liberal voters, nothing will. I can only speculate, and hope.
